Stress and the impact it has on health and aging

Today, people of all ages struggle with stress to a lesser or greater degree. In a recent news broadcast, it was reported that 26% of emergency room visits are anxiety related. Given that research indicates it is responsible for over 90% of all health challenges, it is important to understand it, and identify it’s source. Then, an action can be made on how to address or reduce it in one’s life.

So, exactly what is stress? Stress, by definition, is the body’s and or mind’s reaction to a change that requires a physical, mental or emotional response. Stress can be experienced physically, emotionally, mentally, and as a combination of these three. If significant, it can also manifests in maladaptive behaviors towards self or others.

Stress can significantly disturb the normal functioning of the communication network between the body’s cells, and can greatly impede the body’s ability to heal itself. It is important to address and reduce stress held within the body. For true and long lasting healing to take place, stress and anxiety must be addressed.
